I have told this story before - was at a Flames lunch years ago when Gary Bettman was in town and he was guest speaker.
During the Q&A, dude gets up and says "Mr. Bettman, I am originally from Winnipeg and I would like to know when the NHL will be moving back to Winnipeg?"
Bettman doesn't miss a beat and says "Oh yeah, when are you moving back??"
Room erupted in laughter.

Only because they found a worse NHL city than Winnipeg (twice).
